Chapter 332 The Third Punishment
In the bitter cold winter, the north wind whistles, the vast grassland is covered with white, the biting cold wind is wrapped in snowflakes, whistling by, crackling on people's armor, and blowing on their faces like cutting them.
In such harsh weather, the achievements of the troops must be cut off by themselves. Anyone who hears this punishment will sigh as a pity.
Everyone was a little unwilling to accept it. Li Ji suddenly looked up to the sky and said helplessly: "If you want Your Majesty to be at ease, it seems that this is the only way."
It’s not that he didn’t know Han Yue’s identity, but what if he knew? Since ancient times, the royal family has no affection, especially involving a large army of 300,000. The first thing Li Shimin thought of was the throne.
Father-son family relationship can be found, the premise is that I am the emperor and you are the son. Looking back at the Xuanwu Gate Incident, although Li Yuan was forced to abdicate, he is still a little unwilling to accept it today. He often contacts the aristocratic families and intends to control the court again.
Li Yuan loves power, and Li Shimin is the same. A real man must not be without power for a day. In the eyes of the emperor, the throne is the most important, followed by the family affection between father and son.
The consequences of stealing the tiger talisman are so serious, so Han Yue ordered three punishments. The first punishment was to remove Luo Jing'er from his wife. Even the children in his belly had to be born as a concubine.
The second penalty was to reduce his merits. Han Yue was punishing himself. If he had to do this, he would not be able to calm the emperor, and if he had to do this, he could not block his mouth.
"As for the third punishment..." Han Yue murmured, and his eyes slowly looked at Luo Jing'er with a pale face.
Everyone felt a little nervous. The first two punishments were already extremely cruel. I wonder what the third punishment would be.
Luo Jing'er bit her lips hard, and a smile was barely on her pretty face. However, no matter how hard she smiled, she could not hide the paleness of her face. The woman finally felt scared.
Han Yue suddenly turned his head and shouted loudly: "Where is Cheng Chumo and Li Chong?"
Several dukes were slightly shocked, and Old Cheng smacked his lips and said in surprise: "Why is my family Mo coming too? Why didn't I find where this brat is?"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw two figures popping out from behind. One of them was his son, and the other was Li Chong, who was born in the Baiqisi.
It turned out that the two of them had been hiding in the transportation team, wearing ordinary soldiers' clothes and thick hats on their heads. If they had not been careful, they would not have seen who it was.
Han Yue bowed to Cheng Chu silently and said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, brother, I'll help you and Li Chong to escort Jing'er to Chang'an."
The so-called escort can also be understood as escort. As for whom to handle the escort back, Han Yue did not say it clearly, and everyone knew it well.
Cheng Chumo was stunned for a moment and frowned and said, "This place is thousands of miles away from Chang'an. My younger brother and sister are already pregnant. It is probably inconvenient to ride a horse for such a long distance."
"Then let's go on a car..." Han Yue stood with his hands behind his back and said firmly: "You should set off now and go back to Shenyang City first, let Uncle Tian open my treasure house, select more gold, silver and treasures and mountain ginseng and marten skins from it, and then select fifty masters to escort Chang'an all the way."
Cheng Chumo was stunned again and subconsciously said, "What do you want to do when you bring so many things back?"
"What are you doing, just give gifts!" Han Yue sighed lightly and said solemnly: "You are my sworn brother, so I'll ask you for this matter. After you return to Chang'an, you will take the initiative to send Jing'er to Dali Temple, and then take the gold, silver and treasures to deliver gifts. Anyone who can speak in the court will hand in the post and give gifts. Don't be reluctant to leave money, but ask them to accept it."
Cheng Chumo was stunned again, Li Ji frowned slightly beside him and pondered: "This move is meaningless. Now the court is full of officials from aristocratic families, and there are also the prince faction and the King of Wei faction. These people have never had a good impression of you. They still don't help you if they accept your gift."
Han Yue nodded to show his understanding. He looked up at the sky and said lightly: "I don't ask them to speak for me. I just ask them not to rush to instigate His Majesty to kill people. I sent Jing'er to Dali Temple to protect her. I will talk about everything after I beat the Turks."
He stopped slightly when he said this, thought for a while and then said, "Jing'er may not be able to go back by herself, so he needs to add some more chips..."
Everyone was puzzled by this, but Han Yue turned to look at Xiao Doudou and said softly: "The climate in Northeast China is not good, Guanzhong is suitable for baby care. You can take Han Xiao, Tang Yao and the others back to Chang'an together."
Doudou smiled sweetly and said obediently: "Doudou will do whatever my husband asked me to do."
It was not until this time that everyone vaguely guessed Han Yue's plan that he had a five-family wife. Except for Jin Ling'er returning to Silla, the remaining four wives were sent to Chang'an, which was an example of imitating the ancient protons.
It turns out that this is the third punishment. The first punishment is to eliminate his wife and the second punishment is to remove his military power. The third punishment is to relocate his family and go to Chang'an to be a hostage.
Old Cheng frowned and whispered: "This punishment is too harsh. Jing'er made a mistake by herself, but she asked Doudou and others to be punished as well. This is too unfair to them."
Han Yue kept silent. He looked up at the sky, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Doudou bravely raised her small chest and shouted: "I am my husband's wife. I have the responsibility to share the hardships of the Han family."
Everyone was stunned. Everyone looked at this young girl. Not only was she an ordinary girl, but she also had an ordinary appearance. However, everyone felt that she had an indescribable atmosphere in her every move, which made people feel a sense of admiration in their hearts.
Li Ji's eyes were filled with a brilliant look. He suddenly reached out and pointed at Xiao Doudou, lowered his voice and said justice to the people: "Look at me, do you feel familiar with this woman?"
Everyone was stunned, confused and confused. Old Cheng frowned and thought for a long time, and suddenly a flash of light in his mind, and he said in shock: "I'm so good, that's amazing. This girl's behavior is very generous, very much like the Queen..."
As soon as Lao Cheng said this, he was startled by the first, and the dukes next to him also gasped.
Chai Shao's eyes flashed a few times, and suddenly said with a deep meaning: "Before the Empress returns to Chang'an, she would call Doudou to chat and talk every day, without interruption."
Changsun is a mother-in-law and Doudou is a daughter-in-law. Both mother-in-law and wife are both the real wife. It has been difficult for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to get along well since ancient times, but Changsun calls Doudou over and talk every day, which is obviously being cultivated according to the goal of a country's queen.
Old Cheng suddenly slapped his thighs, he glanced at Han Yue, and lowered his voice: "I finally know why this kid wants Doudou to return to Chang'an too."
This is the case. Although Han Yue did not know his identity, he knew that Changsun had an inexplicable love for him and Doudou. If Doudou came forward to share the responsibility, perhaps Changsun would help reduce Luo Jinger's guilt.
Li Shimin was very talented and stubborn throughout his life, and it seemed that only Empress Changsun could persuade him.
...
...
"It's getting late, you can go on the road!" Han Yue suddenly spoke. He leaned over and carried the little girl on his back, and lowered his voice: "You have to hold on and wait for me to go to Chang'an. If someone causes trouble for you, go find the concubine to protect him immediately."
This was extremely low, and only Doudou heard it. The little girl reached out and hugged his arm, deliberately laughed loudly, "My husband, you want to win a big victory. We are waiting for your good news in Chang'an!"
She helped Han Yue tidy up her clothes, her little face was reluctant, and suddenly her expression turned firm, and she ordered: "Jing'er, Han Xiao, let's go..."
Doudou can't ride a horse, Han Xiao turned over and rode with her, while Luo Jing'er rode another horse. She looked at Han Yue with guilt and said quietly: "The battle on the battlefield is not ordinary, my husband must be extra careful. I will make up for the disaster that Jing'er caused this time to fall into the sky."
Han Yue suddenly reached out and slapped the horse's back. The two horses were so shocked that they ran up their hooves at the same time. He watched the three wives leave and shouted loudly: "This time, don't bow your head in Chang'an. If you make a mistake, you can accept punishment, but we will definitely not accept those who should not be punished."
This was simply inconsistent with his previous words, but Han Yue seemed to have not noticed it, but instead shouted: "Remember, you are my Han Yue's wife. Except for His Majesty and the Empress who can punish him, no one else is qualified. Whoever dares to touch a hair of your hair, I will chop him alive..."
The north wind whistled, and the snow was rolling up. Cheng Chumo and Li Chong looked at each other. Cheng Chumo said solemnly: "Don't worry, brother, even if you sacrifice your life, you will still keep your family safe."
He and Li Chong rolled over the horse at the same time, whipped the horse whip in his hand, and hurriedly chased Doudou and the three girls.
The sound of horse hooves was getting farther and farther away. Five thousand Xuan Armored Iron Cavalry watched Doudou and others leave. For some reason, everyone was filled with anger and felt that their marquis was so pitiful.
A soldier whispered: "Mrs. Jing just secretly borrowed the tiger talisman. If I ask me to say that this is not a big deal, but the situation forces the Marquis to punish himself like this. His grandmother, I feel really uncomfortable."
His words were simply spoken to everyone's hearts. Several soldiers next to him kept nodding, one of them said with concern: "I wonder if the wife will be bullied when she returns to Chang'an. Our marquis has always been inconsistent with the aristocratic family. I am really afraid that those beasts will do anything bad."
"Grandma, I really want the Marquis to take us back to Chang'an and slash out the miscellaneous families from several families."
The more people talked, the more angry they became, the crowd was faintly angry, and there seemed to be a depressed atmosphere in the air, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
Han Yue kept watching Doudou and others leave until their figures disappeared into the vast snowfield. He turned his head and shouted loudly: "Come here, bring the meat for this marquis. I want to have a meal..."
Before the battle, he had a full meal. His meaning was very clear, and he obviously wanted to go to the battlefield in person.
The two soldiers quickly took out the marching meat from their bags and trotted all the way over. The weather was cold and the marching meat was as hard as a stone. However, Han Yue did not feel the difficulty at all, so he raised the meat and opened his mouth to chew it.
Li Ji glanced at everyone, then suddenly walked to Han Yue, and asked, "Is the Marquis of Jingyang going to go to the battlefield in person?"
"Not bad!" Han Yue nodded slowly.
"How are you going to fight?" Li Jie sat cross-legged across from him, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.
